1 Chronicles 11
1 Then did all Israel gather themselves unto David unto Hebron, saying Behold, thy bone and thy flesh are we.
Aisraeli onse anasonkhana pamaso pa Davide ku Hebroni ndipo anati, “Ife ndife abale anu.
2 Already yesterday and even before, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that led out and brought in Israel; and the Lord, thy God, said unto thee, Thou shalt indeed feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be truly a chief over my people Israel.
Kale lija, ngakhale pamene Sauli anali mfumu, inu ndinu amene munkatsogolera Aisraeli pa nkhondo zawo. Ndipo Yehova Mulungu wanu anakuwuzani kuti, ‘Iwe udzaweta anthu anga Aisraeli, ndipo udzakhala mfumu yawo.’”
3 Thus came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the Lord; and they anointed David as king over Israel, according to the word of the Lord through means of Samuel.
Akuluakulu onse a Israeli atafika kwa Mfumu Davide ku Hebroni, iye anachita nawo pangano pamaso pa Yehova, ndipo anamudzoza Davide kukhala mfumu ya Israeli, monga momwe Yehova analonjezera kudzera mwa Samueli.
4 And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; and there were the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land.
Davide ndi Aisraeli onse anapita ku Yerusalemu (ku Yebusi). Ayebusi amene ankakhala kumeneko
5 And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come in hither. Nevertheless David captured the strong-hold of Zion, the same is the City of David.
anamuwuza Davide kuti, “Simulowa muno.” Komabe Davide analanda linga la Ziyoni, limene ndi mzinda wa Davide.
6 And David said, Whosoever doth smite the Jebusites at first shall be head and chief. Then did Joab the son of Zeruyah go up at first, and became head-man.
Davide anali atanena kuti “Aliyense amene adzatsogolere kukathira nkhondo Ayebusi adzakhala mkulu wa asilikali.” Yowabu mwana wa Zeruya ndiye anayamba kupita, motero anakhala mkulu wa asilikali.
7 And David dwelt in the castle: therefore they called it, “The City of David.”
Tsono Davide anakhazikika mu lingamo, ndipo mzindawu anawutcha Mzinda wa Davide.
8 And he built the city round about, even from the Millo as far as the surrounding district, and Joab repaired the rest of the city.
Iye anamanga malo onse ozungulira, kuyambira ku matsitso ozungulira khoma. Ndipo Yowabu anakonzanso mbali ina ya mzindawu.
9 And David want on, and became greater and greater, and the lord of hosts was with him.
Ndipo mphamvu za Davide zinkakulirakulira chifukwa anali ndi Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
10 These also are the principals of the mighty men whom David had, who held firmly with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the Lord concerning Israel.
Awa ndiye anali atsogoleri amphamvu a Davide. Iwo pamodzi ndi Aisraeli onse, anathandiza kulimbikitsa ufumu wake kuti ukwanire madera onse, monga momwe Yehova analonjezera.
11 And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashoh'am, the son of Chachmoni, the chief of the captains, who lifted up his spear against three hundred slain at one time.
Nawa mayina a ankhondo amphamvu a Davide: Yasobeamu Mhakimoni anali mkulu wa atsogoleri. Iye anapha ndi mkondo ankhondo 300 nthawi imodzi.
12 And after him was El'asar the son of Dodo, the Achochite, who was one of the three mighty men.
Wotsatana naye anali Eliezara mwana wa Dodo Mwahohi, mmodzi mwa ankhondo atatu amphamvu.
13 He was with David at Pass-dammim, and the Philistines were gathered together there to battle, and there was a piece of ground full of barley; and the people had fled from before the Philistines.
Iye anali ndi Davide ku Pasi-Damimu pamene Afilisti anasonkhana kudzachita nkhondo. Ankhondo anathawa Afilistiwo pamalo pamene panali munda wodzaza ndi barele.
14 And they placed themselves in the midst of that piece [of ground], and they delivered it, and smote the Philistines: and the Lord helped [them] with a great victory.
Koma awiriwo anayima pakati pa mundawo. Iwo anawuteteza, nakantha Afilistiwo ndipo Yehova anawapambanitsa koposa.
15 And these three, the chiefs of the thirty, went down to the rock to David, to the cave of 'Adullam; and the camp of the Philistines was pitched in the valley of Rephaim.
Atatu mwa atsogoleri makumi atatu aja anabwera kwa Davide ku thanthwe ku phanga la Adulamu pamene gulu la Afilisti linali litamanga misasa mʼchigwa cha Refaimu.
16 And David was then in the strong-hold, and an outpost of the Philistines was then at Beth-lechem.
Nthawi imeneyo Davide anali mu linga, ndipo boma la Afilisti linali ku Betelehemu.
17 And David longed, and said, Oh that some one would bring me water to drink out of the well of Beth-lechem, which is by the gate!
Davide analakalaka madzi ndipo anati, “Haa, pakanapezeka munthu wokanditungira madzi a mʼchitsime chomwe chili pafupi ndi chipata cha ku Betelehemu!”
18 And the three broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lechem, which was by the gate, and carried it, and brought it to David; but David would not drink thereof, and poured it out unto the Lord.
Choncho anthu atatuwa anadutsa mizere ya Afilisti, natunga madzi amene anali mʼchitsime chomwe chinali pafupi ndi chipata cha ku Betelehemu nabwera nawo kwa Davide. Koma iye anakana kumwa. Mʼmalo mwake anathira pansi pamaso pa Yehova.
19 And he said, Far be it from me, before my God, that I should do this: shall I drink the blood of these men that went at the risk of their lives? for at the risk of their lives did they bring it; and thus he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.
Iye anati, “Inu Mulungu, musalole kuti ine ndichite chinthu ichi! Kodi ndimwe magazi a anthu amene anayika miyoyo yawo pachiswe?” Chifukwa iwo anayika miyoyo yawo pachiswe kuti abweretse madziwo, Davide sanamwe. Zimenezi ndi zimene anachita anthu amphamvu atatuwo.
20 And Abshai the brother of Joab was the chief of these three; and he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain, and had a name among the three.
Abisai mʼbale wa Yowabu ndiye anali mtsogoleri wa anthu atatuwa. Iye anapha ndi mkondo ankhondo 300. Choncho iyeyo anali wotchuka pakati pa anthu atatu aja.
21 Of the three, he was more honored than the two, wherefore he became their captain; he nevertheless attained not unto the three [in prowess].
Iye analandira ulemu woposa atatuwo. Kotero anakhala mtsogoleri wawo ngakhale kuti iyeyo sanali mʼgulu la anthu atatu aja.
22 Banayah the son of Jehoyada', the son of a valiant man, great in many acts, of Kah-zeel: he it was that smote the two lion-like heroes of Moab; he also went down and smote a lion in the midst of a pit on a day when it snowed.
Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada wa ku Kabizeeli anali munthu wolimba mtima amene anachita zinthu zamphamvu. Iye anakantha ankhondo awiri otchuka a ku Mowabu. Tsiku lina kukuzizira kwambiri, iye analowa mʼdzenje ndi kuphamo mkango.
23 And he smote an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and he snatched the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.
Ndipo iye anakanthanso Mwigupto amene anali wotalika mamita awiri ndi theka. Ngakhale kuti Mwiguptoyo anali ndi mkondo wofanana ndi ndodo yowombera nsalu mʼdzanja mwake, Benaya anapita kukamenyana naye ali ndi chibonga chokha mʼmanja. Iye analanda mkondo mʼdzanja la Mwiguptoyo ndi kumupha ndi mkondo wake womwe.
24 These things did Benayah the son of Jehoyada'; and he had a name among the mighty men.
Izi ndi zamphamvu zimene Benaya mwana wa Yehoyada anachita. Iyeyo analinso wotchuka ngati anthu atatu amphamvu aja.
25 Behold, he was indeed more honored than the thirty; but he attained not to the first three. And David appointed him over his private council.
Iye ankalemekezedwa kuposa wina aliyense mwa anthu makumi atatu, koma sanali mʼgulu la anthu atatu aja. Ndipo Davide anamuyika kukhala woyangʼanira asilikali omuteteza.
